Prep notebook: CHSAA basketball selection show on tap Sunday

The Colorado High School Activities Association will hold its usual state basketball tournament selection show at 3 p.m. Sunday at the Doubletree Hotel in Aurora. But this year's edition will only be for Class 5A.

In the past the show has included 4A as well. But the 4A seeding process changed this year from the selection committee choosing qualifiers to a system where various leagues have an established number of qualifiers. The 4A brackets will be released on CHSAA's website after 5 p.m. Sunday.

The 5A selection show, meanwhile, will be streamed live online at chsaa.tv.

District tournament brackets will be posted to CHSAA's website as they become available Sunday or early next week.
